The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Wednesday raided homes and kidnapped Palestinian citizens in different West Bank areas.
In Nablus the IOF kidnapped two young men from Tel town north of the West Bank.
Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that soldiers aboard military vehicles stormed at 02:00 am (local time) several homes and kidnapped two young citizens.
The two detainees were identified as Musaab al-Hindi 27 and Yaser Yamin 20.
Meanwhile local young men from the town hurled stones at the soldiers who responded by firing tear gas grenades to disperse them.
Violent clashes also broke out at dawn between young men and soldiers east of Nablus after the latter stormed the Joseph’s Tomb area to protect Jewish settlers who infiltrated into the city without prior coordination with the Israeli army.
